get some nagisa camber adjusters from Kyoei USA. Jin was able to get -6 in the front.

I hope I can get some soon, I was only able to get -3.5

good luck, car looks cool

that pull is not an "easy fit".

you get a lot of camber in the last couple inches, the rear more so than the front. you're probably about an inch out of range, but with 19s i'm not sure you'll be able to drive if you get it low enough (18s ftw). the recommended camber adapters are your best bet.

By easy, I mean everything worked out for me in the rear.

I'll look into those camber plates.

my next step (unless i switch up wheels) will be to rebuild to 18x9.5 +10/-3 and i don't expect any problems fitting.

go lower.
A little random but I love the taillights. Are there any like that for my ES?

You should not have any problem just getting natural camber out of the car and making it work

on my setup with 18s before being slammed I had -4 degrees of camber in the front on a 18x9.5 +10 and I still had a decent amount of room

i lowered it more and fit 19x9.5 +8 it was tight but fit on there good

my old setup with 18s had -4 camber in front and -5 in the rear and thats on all stock arms man
